Ringo Starr: The Vatican Has “More to Talk About Than the Beatles”

From Wikipedia.Last week, the Vatican announced that it has chosen to forgive the Beatles for the terrible sin of using the name “Jesus Christ” in a simile one time in 1966. Not only has the Vatican now excused this misstep, the Church even went so far as to call the band “a precious jewel” in an article in its official newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano.

Now, Ringo Starr, notable for being the second-most-talented living Beatle, has responded to that apology. “Didn't the Vatican say we were satanic or possibly satanic—and they’ve still forgiven us? I think the Vatican, they’ve got more to talk about than the Beatles,” he told CNN via Entertainment Weekly. Burn! Also: true! It’s just a pity neither Starr nor the Vatican has a Twitter so this feud could be elevated to the next level (cf. here, here, and here), 140 characters at a time.
